eMOLT Update 2023-09-22
It is often the episodic storm systems that govern the oceanographic
conditions any one season. The recent passing of Lee, for example,
restructured the water column. It cooled and transported surface waters.
As shown in the animation below, the storm arriving about Sept 16th was
evidently enough to bring the colder bottom water to the surface and
drive the two surface drifters (built by Meadowbrook Elementary and
Southern Maine Community College, respectively) a good distance.
